What you'll learn

Throughout this Photoshop tutorial we'll explore a handful of blending modes that artists use on a daily basis to light illustrations. You'll begin to see the flexibility and range that both layer and tool blending modes present. They are powerful tools that deserve a place in every digital artist's tool set. Lighting effects can be tricky, and filters stand out a mile away. But by the end of this Photoshop training, you'll know that with blending modes, the control and look is put back in the hands of the user and end result can be highly effective. Software required: Photoshop CC.
